Mandalas for Relaxation : Adult Coloring Book

"Mandalas for Relaxation" is an adult coloring book created to bring calmness, reduce stress and anxiety, promoting positive thoughts, and to be a conduit for mindfulness. Studies have found that coloring is a meditative activity that not only calms stress and anxiety but also increases our ability to focus and clears the mind for better decision making. A lot of people find coloring to be much easier than sitting down to meditate and the results are the same.Mandala is a Sanskrit word meaning circle. The circle represents wholeness and balance. They are spiritual and ritual symbols in Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the universe. Mandalas have long been considered visual representations of the universe and as guides for psychological practices including meditation. Studies have shown that viewing the mandala itself is calming and reassuring. Combining Mandalas and coloring can be psychologically soothing and beneficial to everyday life. Take a few breaths, relax and be in the moment while you color the mandalas. Find that place known as the zone and enjoy. Each mandala is a hand drawn original with quite a bit of detail and some small spaces to color. The pages are not perforated but are printed on one side only so you can remove and frame or display them however you wish. There are additional pages in the back of the book for blending and shading experimentation so you don't ruin your colored mandalas.I have a Facebook group "Mandalas for Relaxation" for those who wish to share their colored mandalas, download free mandala coloring pages and learn to draw mandalas.

The codeword for the group can be found in the coloring books. I also have a public blog, Mandalas for Relaxation, about mandalas, coloring, mindfulness and meditation.I sincerely hope that coloring the mandalas in this book brings you as much anxiety and stress relief, calmness and inner peace as drawing the mandalas does for me. Take a few breaths, get comfortable, relax and happy coloring.
